The Importance of Global and Personal Change

In developing an understanding of sustainability its helpful to think of the fact that it requires a change in personal and world view.This may entail quite a major leap in lifestyle but also the underlying values that underpin such decisionmaking and change.We cant underestimate such work and practice.Inherent in wanting to live more sustainably is a sense of balance.But what sort of balance are we talking about?Is it a personal health and wellness type balance between work and leisure to reduce the stresses and strains of living in our modern scenarios/work etc.Is it about less materialism,consumerism,living more simply?Is it about environmentalism and a greener approach to living in an urban environment?Is it about growing and eating food in a slower more quality way?There are many links that are increasingly being made as the world seems to become more networked and less abstractedly interlinked and bound up to each other.
